The author's responsibility in the face of AI: a literary exploration

Thierry Ehrmann's book, "Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI," has sparked a debate on the role of AI in literary creation. Originally published in English, the book is now available in French and is being translated into other languages. It highlights the tensions surrounding the use of AI in literature, exemplified by the withdrawal of Thélyson Orélien's "It Was That or Die" from the Goncourt Prize shortlist.

Ehrmann advocates for open and creative dissemination in the face of bureaucratic regulations. His book, an 1,800-page experiment, was written in collaboration with an AI but remains under his intellectual supervision. This raises questions about accountability and transparency in creative work in the digital age, where public initiatives seek to regulate these new forms of literature.
